Mulan: Fa Mulan

Look at meI will never pass for a perfect brideOr a perfect daughterCan it beI'm not meant to play this part?

Now I seeThat if I were truly to be myself I would break my family's heart…

When Fa Mulan heard about her elderly father, the only man in her family, Fa Zhou, being forced to join the military, she decided to disguise herself as a man and take his place. When Fa Zhou learned about this, he prayed to his family ancestors, who ordered their “Great Stone Dragon” to protect her. Little did they know that the Great Stone Dragon failed to awaken and that Mushu, a much smaller dragon, was the one who went forth to protect Mulan.
